The legal tussling over Turner Scott Motorsports spreads over two states as co-owner Steve Turner has sued co-owner Harry Scott in Texas court, and Scott has field a notice of complaint in North Carolina court.

Turner filed his suit Aug. 11, and Scott filed his paperwork Wednesday after the team announced that Ron Hornaday would not race this weekend in Canada. Hornaday is fourth in the Camping World Truck Series standings.

The organization’s other full-time teams — its two Nationwide cars for Kyle Larson and Dylan Kwasniewski and its two trucks for Ben Kennedy and a multiple-driver entry that this weekend will have Cameron Hayley — will compete this weekend as scheduled with the Nationwide teams at Atlanta and the truck teams at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.

Turner, who seeks more than $3 million in his lawsuit, alleges that he has been forced to lend money to the race team to keep it from defaulting on its bills. It alleges that Scott — who bought 40 percent of the team in 2012 — hasn’t taken responsibility for payment to vendors. It alleges that Scott agreed that a $2 million debt to Turner that existed at the time the partnership was formed was to be repaid by the race team, and so far, none of that debt has been repaid.

“Scott has refused to approve actions that are necessary and material to the business, leaving the Company unable to operate,” the lawsuit states.

Turner also asks for a receiver to be appointed to run the company and that Scott be removed from his leadership role in the race team. Scott, in turn, stated in his North Carolina filing that he will ask for a receiver to run the team without Turner.

Scott, according to documents obtained by the Sporting News, filed a notice of suit Wednesday by asking for an extension of time to file a complaint against Turner. He has 20 days to file the suit.

The extension of time alleges that Turner has allowed the team’s funds to be depleted and left debts unpaid, that Turner did not fund the entries as he was obligated to, that “he unilaterally chose to operate through TSM,” and that Turner misapplied the sponsorship funds and revenues of the Nationwide and truck teams.

Last year, Scott bought Phoenix Racing to form HScott Motorsports, which fields a Sprint Cup car for Justin Allgaier.

“My investment company, a co-owner of TSM, will continue to do all that it can to keep the team moving forward with or without our business partner Steve Turner,” Scott said in a statement Wednesday. “To all TSM employees, sponsors, partners and fans I pledge we will continue to do what we can to keep the teams racing hard each and every week of the season."
